"Being Different and Being Kind" with Maria Hansen-Quine

In this episode Mark speaks with the passionately loving parent of 9, Maria Hansen-Quine. Can we just say, we were absolutely blown away by Maria & husband Sam’s compassion, strength and deep desire to make the world a more loving and understanding place.

Along with parenting, Maria has always been passionate about diversity. Twelve years ago, while a school counselor in Washington state she created a diversity unit in which she taught regularly for 10+ years. Maria has created two children's books which are a culmination of this curriculum and her experiences as a school counselor and a mom. "Be Different & Be Kind" tells the courageous story of a character named Mariah and what it really means to be different from the other kids. Things improve for her when the school counselor comes in her class and teaches a new lesson. This book is a great resource to teach children about the beauty of diversity!

Maria has devoted the past 22 years to working with children, has worked in three different states, six different schools, two group homes, an outpatient therapy children's programs, homeless shelters, and has provided court mandated therapeutic in-home support to families.

Maria currently works as a school counselor in a beautiful inner city community in Arizona and her and her husband Sam have nine beautiful and diverse “precious jewels”, seven through adoption and two born biologically.

Candelaria Design's Jeff Kramer presents our 2020 "Jeff Kramer MVP Award" to Winner Mathew Grove

This Podcast episode of Inspiring Living features two amazing individuals and members of our Candelaria Design Team. First, we welcome Architect, Jeffrey Kramer, AIA, who has been a member of our team for nearly 20 years. Over the course of that time Jeff and i have collaborated on a number of amazing projects including a true legacy project, El Chorro in Paradise Valley, AZ.
Jeff Kramer came on board our team in its early beginnings but his addition had such an impact on the growth and level of work our team ultimately produced and has continued to produce due to Jeff setting what we call the Jeff Kramer standard - a standard that has now become the Candelaria Design Jeff Kramer MVP Award.
In this podcast we will delve into Jeff Kramer's beginnings as a youth in New Jersey to his college days at Tulane University in Louisiana, to eventually ending up here in Arizona. Along the way, without even looking at Jeff's work, you will come to understand why Jeff established the MVP standard in our company and culture.
Then, we actually present the Jeff Kramer 2020 MVP award to this year's recipient, Mathew Grove! Mat has been with the firm approximately 5 years and from his time just starting as an intern while completing his studies at the University of Arizona he has become a force and highly respected member of our Candelaria Design Team working on a number of marquis residences.
Enjoy the story behind both of these inspiring gentlemen and make sure to send Mat a big congratulations!
